But what about those other friends of yours in the 'global' South fraternity, whose travel bills must have far surpassed those of the ARCIC meetings - which have been much sparser, and at least directed toward the possibility of unifying the Churches rather than supporting institutional schism? <br /><br />I guess all international Church bodies will have to look at their potenbtial to exacerbate the problems of 'global warming', Perhaps one of the new inititatives could be some-thing like a 'GlobalSouth' Cooling!

They could probably provide every participant with laptops or desktops and the other necessary AV equipment for less than the combined travel and housing expenses of just one meeting of such a group.<br /><br />And it would cut down on the last minute non-attendence caused by failure to receive travel documents.Brother Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333089314994730330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-77129495423578955822011-02-14T12:00:41.243+13:002011-02-14T12:00:41.243+13:00"Romans: 'We do not understand why we are..."Romans: 'We do not understand why we are discussing this topic with you because you seem to have no idea how to run a communion.<br /><br /> - Peter Carrell -<br /><br />Peter.
